Fly eye imaging radar

Fly eye imaging radar comprising at least one antenna array, means for transmitting radar signals, means for receiving radar signals and means for processing the radar signals wherein:

• said antenna array arranged as array of directional antennas covering wide area of observation with staring, not scanning, overlap in as minimum one axis antenna patterns creating antenna sub-arrays in each axis;
• means for transmitting radar signals comprising as minimum one phase-locked loop, signal generator and controllable power amplifier connected with transmitting antenna covering whole area or sub-sector of area of observation;
• means for receiving radar signals comprising multiple separate receiving channels with signal conditioning circuit including voltage or current limiters, anti-aliasing circuits, Automatic Gain Control (AGC) means, directional coupler with signal detector and analog-to-digital converter;
• each directional antenna covering whole area or sub-sector of area of observation and coupled with separate receiving cannel providing fast continuous parallel processing of signals for receiving maximum information from all covering area simultaneously;
• means for processing the radar signals comprising multi-channel processor, image generator, memory for real time recording digital hologram, synchronization means and at least one monopulse processor connected to each antenna sub-array by directional coupler with signal detector for creating monopulse subarrays;
• monopulse subarrays comprising means for one or multi-axis processing of all signals in receiving channels as ratio of amplitudes and/or phase shift of signals for direction finding and one-iteration adapting for clutter suppressing or decrease transferring media influence to receiving chain parameters by phase shift in subarray of neighboring directional antennas with overlap antenna patterns, wherein application of signals from reference antennas providing highest directional accuracy and better clutter/noise and media influence suppression;
• said multi-channel processor comprised means for transform, correct and filter received signals from time domain to frequency domain and space one axis and/or multi-axis domain to increase image resolution and number of parameters for object recognition;
• said antenna array, receiving and processing means arranged for receiving additional Doppler shifted and diffracted spectrum components consists of information about moving objects, objects content by spectrum signature and object shape;
• said image generator arranged for generating one or multi-axis images in time, frequency, space or combined domains;
• means for transmitting radar signals, means for receiving radar signals and means for processing the radar signals are connected by digital interface arranged as universal serial bus (USB) or microwave and/or fiber optic waveguides to signal processor or wireless.
